Linux thread on the SVP forum, where some comments may be more appropriate than here unless they relate to the packaging:

Official Wiki page for good measure, which is a bit out of date at this point:

in case someone tries to use svptube, I had to workaround a missing dependency for it to work. First install pythonqt if you don't have it then:

/opt/svp/extensions >>> ldd libsvptube.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffefcfb3000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fbf4c17f000) libPythonQt.so.1 => not found /opt/svp/extensions >>> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libPythonQt-Qt5-Python3.so /usr/lib/libPythonQt.so.1 /opt/svp/extensions >>> ldd libsvptube.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe821f9000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f8e0bf7c000) libPythonQt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libPythonQt.so.1 (0x00007f8e0bcd2000)

Probably shouldn't be done to /usr/lib like that but adapt it as you wish with better path or LDD preloads. If it's enabled, to use it you just copy a youtube-dl supported link into clipboard and a popup shows up on bottom with quality options, really neat!

The svp is crashing with QT-Network errors on bad internet connections, like thru a proxy server. Using a good internet connection, the app works flawlessly with code plugin enabled.

Please re-enable the plugin. :)

I found that SVP is installing the wrong Deinterlacing plugin into vlc... it's choosing the 22 file not the 30 file.

So /opt/svp/plugins/libvapoursynth_plugin.so.22 is choosen instead of /opt/svp/plugins/libvapoursynth_plugin.so.30 for the VLC in version 3.0.4-6.

Replacing it manually with the right version perfectly works (in opposite to the message displayed while installing by SVP - which states, that it was successfully installed, but VLC has removed the deinterlace support).

Maybe you can submit this as feedback/a bug to the developers?

This is still crashing some time after starting.

It takes a few seconds to crash but it does crash everytime. I am not even starting mpv, it crashes as is. Any clue what can cause this?

Not sure, I haven't tried if it still crashes without removing libsvpcode.so

Sad so see the svpcode extension go away, any timeframe when it's working again? :)

Missing libQt5Qml.so.5 available in package qt5-declarative
